[ANY FLAG THAT ISN'T BADEND and tuberculosis is definitely badend......

He's looking for the intimidation factors!! STAY STILL, GOSH-- No okay, he won't invade her space much more than he already has.]

Huuuh? What's up with that? Don't talk yourself down so much! [He reaches forward - so much for no further invasions of personal bubbles - and prods her shoulder once.] Of course you're not gonna shine if you say stuff like that! Be more confident! [It's the ticket to success!! And if someone doesn't have confidence they can totally just fake it, okay.]

D'you want to do it, though?

[hoasen]

[OH NO........it's okay, healing powers will come into effect okay.

So he's already way too close huh. SHIFTING--oh he poked her shoulder, ah.]

I...I do wish to be more confident, but I am unsure how. [LOOK, THESE THINGS ARE HARD OKAY, she's so self-critical she doesn't even know where to start. She's probably faking "confidence" half the time because she's just naturally stubborn.] I don't see what I can really bring?

And I suppose it is also because I am just fine as I am. I'm not looking for more.

[adornmental]

[He doesn't have the same idea of personal space that other people have okay, this is just how things are.]

You just gotta think about all the stuff you're good at, or what you like about yourself.[He gives her a look the like you do have those things, right??] If you know what to be proud of, you can be confident no problem.

[But if she's fine as she is, then she might not have to try so hard?! But she just said she wanted to be more confident, too... VIETNAM HE'S GETTING MIXED SIGNALS.]

[hoasen]

[Space...she misses it. ONE DAY SHE WILL GET IT BACK...

Why is he giving her such an intense look!?!??!] Cooking and sewing? I can make a lot of things. [Great hands.] Is that what you mean?

[SHE'S A HUMBLE COUNTRY, BUT SHE WANTS TO BE COOL TOO OKAY it's hard...]

[adornmental]

[NOT WHILE KASHUU IS AROUND.]

Yeah! Complimenting yourself can go a long way, y'know? So, like, you're good at making stuff, and you're super nice and considerate... You also totally have nice, soft-looking hair, and your eyes are a really pretty color! You're a cute height too, and your face fits you perfectly. See? Stuff like that.

[Is he being enough of an embarrassment yet??]

[hoasen]

[KASHUU, CONTROL YOURSELF. WITH BOTH YOUR SENSE OF SPACE AND WORDS BECAUSE WE'VE LOST HER.

No really she can't say anything right now as she just gapes at him.]

[adornmental]

[NO, COME BACK VIETNAM. Kashuu leans back, but only like, half an inch... And it's just so he can wave at her, looking vaguely concerned.]

...You okay?

[hoasen]

[GOMEN, SHE DIDN'T MEAN TO LEAVE YOU ALONE, KASHUU.......

She blinks when he does wave at her. Maybe she is coming back!]

I...I'm fine. [Mostly.]

[adornmental]

[UNFORGIVABLE.]

Good! Anywaaay, like I said, you have all these super cute qualities. All you gotta do is acknowledge them, so - tell me one thing you like about yourself. I can start, if you want!

[oops, there he goes again...]

[hoasen]

[LET HER REDEEM HERSELF...]

I'm...[THIS IS TOO EMBARRASSING.]

Yes, please start. [If he's determined to do this though, so will she!]

[adornmental]

Sure, sure! Let's see... [Starts counting off on his fingers:] You're super reliable - like seriously one of the most reliable people in the city, y'know? And your cooking is great! I'm hungry for that soup stuff you brought over aaall the time. Like I said, your eyes are a pretty color. People probably look right at 'em when you're talking, right? And your hair doesn't just look soft. It felt way healthy when I was working with it earlier. I've seen some people with dry, gross hair here, so that was a total breath of fresh air! You looked good in everything I picked out for you - not everyone does. You're easy to get along with, too!

[IS THAT ENOUGH he looks like he's preparing to continue...]

[hoasen]

[SHE MIGHT BE HYPOTHETICALLY FROTHING AT THE MOUTH AGAIN. Not actually frothing, but she feels like it.

W-why is there so much. Kashuu, where are you grabbing these from. WHERE.]

Y-you believe this? [He's not wrong, she really does try to do all of what he has noticed, but she doesn't think it's enough! How he described her physically though. Goodbye world.]

[adornmental]

[Bye, Vietnam... he didn't mean to destroy you......]

Duh! I wouldn't say it if I didn't believe it.

[One of the upsides (???) of being painfully honest! Even if he goes overboard with the compliments sometimes, it's not like he's ever pulling anything out of a hat. Even if that's where Vietnam thinks these are coming from, gosh...]

[hoasen]

[Is this revenge cos he was destroyed (oh)]

I...I don't know what to say, truly. It is overwhelming.

[Kashuu's skill is also to shut other people up apparently. HE HAS A STYLISH HAT TOO IF HE WANTED OKAY.]

[adornmental]

[WOW pulling no punches i see]

Does no one ever compliment you or something? [BLUNT but really!! There's modesty and then there's actual surprise...]

[hoasen]

[The truth cannot be brushed aside!

She pauses for a moment, because really she doesn't get out enough, and the people she's exposed to usually call her cute before something explodes into a giant mess. Their honest came with a price...]

Not a lot?

[adornmental]

[THIS IS TERRIBLE... What the hell, everyone deserves to be drowned in compliments!!]

Seriously? You need to find people who'll compliment you more!
